The Fuel Stove

27/12/2011

We have a wood stove at Riverbourne, and apart from cooking our meals, it heats the hot water. This means that we need wood all year round, (there is plenty around the farm), however it takes very little to heat the water, and there are fittings on the unit to fit solar, should we desire.
In summer we have lots of barbecues and salads, and of course, a leg of lamb cooked with the weber charcoal system is an unbeatable way to cook a roast.
Coming in at the end of the day, the stove gently ticking over,a kettle of hot water always on top, the faint smell of wood smoke - ah, back to our roots when things were much simpler!

The wood stove sure came into its own on Christmas Eve with with all the meats to cook and a huge storm causing a 9 hour black out. So we loaded up the stove with good dry wood,  got the heat up and by the glow of a coleman lantern started cooking. Result, beautiful meat for Christmas Day and an abundance of hot water.
